The Paradise of Reincarnation Begins with Eriri

Food without any added attributes is worthless in the park, and it's used as a bribe without a second thought.

The female team member hesitated for two seconds, intending to refuse, but then she remembered that she had just been saved by the other party and they certainly wouldn't harm her, so she reached out and took it.

"Thanks......"

She carefully took a bite of the chocolate, and as the sweetness exploded on her tongue, the female team member's eyes widened suddenly, and an expression of unbelievable happiness appeared on her face.

"It smells so sweet!"

"what is this?"

"How can it taste so good?"

"By the way, you're not members of the Demon Slayer Corps, are you? What are you doing here?"

"..."

"Miss Ayame, you talk too much."

Kiyono Makoto turned around and saw that Shoko was already dressed. He simply said, "Hurry up the mountain and meet us at the lake."

The female member of the Demon Slayer Corps immediately became anxious:

"Wait, it's extremely dangerous in the mountains! You must leave immediately, don't go up the mountain..."

"Let's talk as we walk."

Kiyono Makoto interrupted the other person, his tone calm:

"That spider-demon mother with her manipulative abilities must have noticed us; we can't stay any longer..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kiyono Makoto suddenly reached out and grabbed Yukino Yukinoshita who was standing next to him.

"......!"

Yukino Yukinoshita instinctively retreated quickly, suddenly raising her longbow and assuming a defensive stance.

"It's a spider."

Kiyono Makoto opened his right hand, and a black mist-like spider appeared in his palm.

As the team leader, Kiyono Makoto receives attribute bonuses from the other team members. Although it's only 10%, these bonuses accumulate and his attribute values ​​have already surpassed human limits, making his five senses incredibly sharp.

Previously, Shoko was controlled by the little spider because they were too far apart, but Yukinoshita was right next to her and could easily detect it.

Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her gaze to the spider in Makoto Kiyono's palm, and parted her cherry lips slightly:

"......Thanks."

"You are welcome."

Kiyono Makoto warned, "Stay about three steps away from me, don't go any further, otherwise you won't be able to spot the spider falling from mid-air."

Upon hearing this, Nishimiya Shoko quickly stepped forward, becoming her little tail.

Yukino nodded slightly, her expression serious.

Even the female team member, who looked anxious and wanted the three of them to leave the mountain, instinctively moved closer.

The experience of having my body controlled was a nightmare, and I never want to experience it again.

"Let's go up the mountain."

Seiichi Kiyono took the lead and whispered:

"The task of explaining this to Ms. Ayame is now entrusted to you, Yukinoshita."

"......good."

Yukino nodded slightly in agreement.

As an absolutely correct girl, she naturally disdained lying, and with just three sentences, she silenced the female members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"We are demon hunters, not civilians."

"Evil spirits are our common enemy."

"Specific details are not convenient to explain, please do not inquire further... We look forward to your continued cooperation."

"..."

Twenty minutes later.

When Kiyono Makoto and his group arrived halfway up the mountain, a shimmering mountain lake came into view.

During the ascent, several small spiders fell silently, but Kiyono Makoto keenly sensed them all and killed them instantly.

"...I saw a lake."

Kiyono Makoto opened the team channel, used his points, sent a message, and described the surrounding environment in detail.

Before long, a dark shadow flew over silently.

Yukino Yukinoshita squinted her eyes and subconsciously raised her longbow.

"Don't worry, it's a teammate."

Makoto Kiyono reached out to stop Yukino.

A round, plump crow swooped down from mid-air, circling and dancing in front of Kiyono Makoto in a perfect figure-eight dance, like a bee.

"...It's Eriri-san's crow."

Nishimiya Shoko's eyes lit up slightly, and she exclaimed softly.

"Let's follow."

Kiyono Makoto let out a soft breath and quickly followed the crow that was circling and leading the way.

Not long after.

The four arrived at the lakeside.

Four girls quickly emerged from behind a large tree; it was Eriri and the others.

"Junior, sir."

"Kiyono-kun."

"You idiots, Kiyono, you've finally arrived."

"..."

The meeting was successful.

The senior students landed by the lake. After landing, they did not make any rash moves, but quickly concealed their whereabouts. During this time, they were safe and sound and were not attacked.

After briefly recounting their respective experiences, Kiyono Makoto introduced Ayame-san and Yukinoshita's identities, then interlaced his fingers and said in a deep voice:

"The further we go, the more dangerous the situation becomes for us, so we must strike first... Our primary target is the Spider Demon Mother. Her ability to turn others into puppets is too troublesome; we need to deal with her first."

Chapter 136 Kato-kun's Perfect Invisibility

"...Instead of running away, will they take the initiative and attack?"

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her delicate lips, gently grasped her right arm with her left hand, and couldn't help but glance at Makoto Kiyono one more time.

Escaping may be shameful, but it can be useful.

For a regular player, their first thought right now would probably be to hide, play cat and mouse in Spider Mountain, and hope to survive until dawn, right?

The Ghost Hunters are clearly at a disadvantage. Instead of running away, they choose to take the initiative to attack. They are either reckless fools with nothing but blood and guts, or they are extremely confident in their own strength.

We've only had a short time to interact, so it's difficult to determine the situation of the team we're facing.

"...I hope it's the latter."

Yukino Yukino breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

She chose the Ghost Hunter faction because she didn't want to become one of those disgusting things.

Secondly, she possesses a transformation skill and is very confident in her ability to conceal herself.

But given a choice, one would naturally prefer to take the initiative rather than be like a cat chasing a mouse, only able to run away.

"I support Kiyono's opinion."

Rio Futaba adjusted her glasses, her tone calm and composed:

"I just launched a drone to scout the mountain environment. Spider Mountain is larger than I imagined. If we just hide, like in the lake, the probability of surviving until dawn is very high."

"But this would completely unbalance the dynamic difficulty between the two sides."

"Therefore, it can be inferred that players who choose the Demon faction, as well as those who are already present in Demon dungeons, will definitely possess some kind of continuous tracking ability."

Eriri, holding a sketchbook in her arms—an item she bought specifically before entering the dungeon to increase her drawing speed—said without hesitation:

"...It's a rare blood type!"

Eriri quickly said:

"In the comics, humans with rare blood types have an incredible attraction to demons, just like sharks can smell blood, demons can smell rare blood!"

According to the original setting, a very small number of people possess a special blood constitution, which is what Zhai Li calls 'rare blood type'. This stuff has a fatal attraction to ghosts and is a "top-grade feast" in the eyes of evil spirits.

Unfortunately, having rare blood doesn't make humans stronger; in this era overrun by demons, it's practically a negative buff.

Kasumigaoka Utaha crossed her arms and nodded in agreement.

“Sawamura-kun’s deduction makes a lot of sense… The Paradise wouldn’t directly mark our location; that would be too mechanical. They must have done something behind the scenes. In other words, we’ve all likely been given the rare bloodline.”

"Junior, what do you think?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha tilted her head and looked over.

Kiyono Makoto narrowed his eyes slightly, activated his keyword observation, and slowly swept his gaze over the girls' heads before nodding gently:

"Everyone does indeed have a temporary label that says 'rare blood type'."

"......Label?"

Yukino Yukinoshita felt a slight stirring in her heart and glanced at Makoto Kiyono again.

This boy, who looked to be about the same age as her, seemed to possess some rather magical and powerful abilities, and was clearly the backbone of the entire team.

"Sure enough."

Rio Futaba adjusted her glasses, her tone calm and composed:

"Those of us with rare blood can hide for a while, but not forever. Therefore, we must take the initiative. The best way to ensure safety is not to avoid danger, but to eliminate it."

Senior student: "I second that."

Eriri: "Futaba is right, we can't just sit here and wait to die."

Nishimiya Shoko: "I'm fine with anything..."

Yukino Yukinoshita stood quietly in the corner, without saying a word.

As an outsider, it's best to just listen quietly in this situation.

I will only seriously offer my opinion if it violates my principles or if there is a very big disagreement.

Just then, a calm and pleasant voice rang out:

"...I agree."

"Huh?!"

Yukino Yukinoshita's body suddenly tensed, she took a half step back, and quickly turned her head to look at the source of the sound.

Who is speaking?

There was someone nearby?

Why didn't I notice anything at all?!

"Don't be nervous, it's a teammate."

Kiyono Makoto reassured him, "That's Kato's special ability; it reduces his presence in the night. There's no need to worry about it."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "..."

She was standing right next to me, yet I didn't notice her at all. That bob-haired girl had such a low profile!

"Miss Yukinoshita, may I ask what your ability is?"
